This brand new show from one of the hottest comedians in the countrydebuted at the Leicester Comedy Festival where it received this rave review:’Published in Leicester Mercury on 14th February 2014:’It isn’t every day a comedian bursts into a cockney accent, gets anaudience to whip out their tattoos whilst screaming "LEGEND!" at everyperson he deems ’hard’.After his previous tour, aptly named ’The Man with No Shame’, Mullinger hasmoved onto speaking of his biggest passion to date- the hardest man intown, Mr Danny Dyer.Throughout the night we’d hear the word ’legend’ thrown around like an oldFrisbee, but it was this charming, crude and witty exterior with just ablend of feminist credentials that was working in Mullinger’s favourtonight.It’s strange - he draws comprehensively on his very troubled childhood,even revealing pages of his drunken diary as a 16-year-old to a howlingaudience - it’s dark. But it definitely packs a punch, and an already rowdycrowd were reeling off his every word in what can only be described as awonderfully hysterical manner.As the show drew to a close, we see his dream came true as he reveals hegot to STAR in a Danny Dyer movie (and even speak a line in a perfectlydodgy cockney accent); his eccentric, camp excitement gains a flurry oflaughs from the audience. And rightly so.

His innovative content and animated, colourful quality of stand upcertainly makes him one to look out for, and is only confirmed as I watchthe lady in front of me vibrating with laughter, wiping a single gigglytear from her eye.Bravo, James Mullinger. You certainly have our attention.’Published in The Skinny, July 2013’:
